DENVER—Former Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo told attendees at a Tea Party convention that President Barack Obama was elected because of “people who could not even spell the word ‘vote’ or say it in English.'”
Tancredo delivered the remarks Thursday at the convention in Nashville and said it was a good thing that Sen. John McCain was not elected because Obama has “mobilized an uprising.”
Tancredo made a run for president but dropped out in 2007. He’s best known for his stance against illegal immigration and has frequently been criticized for his comments on the topic.
Tancredo also told people at the convention that a civics literacy test should be required to be allowed to vote.
